Understanding Salvation
#
Romans 5:6-11
Introduction
As we continue to look at Romans, I would like us to fully understand
the great salvation we have. It is not necessary to understand all of
this in order to be saved, but after we are saved, it is great to look
at it all, and understand better the GREAT Salvation we received!
When you bought your first car, you certainly didn't understand what
you were getting! You probably didn't understand how a pump turns on,
and moves the gasoline from your tank to your motor. You probably
didn't understand that a battery & starter cranks that motor over. You
probably didn't understand the proper ratio of gas and air mixture to
get that explosion to take place inside of that engine block as the
piston compressed that mixture. You probably didn't understand the gear
ratio in the transmission that causes a motor that is constantly in
motion to put the wheels in motion. All you knew was, how much does it
cost? Does it work? do I like the color, and does the radio work?

#Complete Consecration
Psalm 16
Introduction
In reading the Psalm, verse 10 stands out as a very prophetic verse. “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” Ps 16:10. It is quoted by Peter as he preached in the book of Acts. The entirety of this Psalm can be applied to the life of Jesus Christ. We will look at it that way this evening.

Explanation of Sin vs Salvation
#
Romans 5:12-17
Introduction
An Old Time preacher, Harry Ironside wrote this:
The moment a man is justified by faith he is also born of God. His
justification is, as we have seen, his official clearance before the
throne of God. His regeneration involves his introduction into a new
family. He becomes a part of the New Creation of which the risen
Christ is the Head. Adam the first was federal head of the old race.
Christ Risen, the Second Man and the Last Adam, is Head of the new
race. The old creation fell in Adam, and all his descendants were
involved in his ruin. The new creation stands eternally secure in
Christ, and all who have received life from Him are sharers in the
blessings procured by His cross and secured by His life at God's
right hand.

#A Prayer to Heed
Psalm 17:1-3
Introduction
This is a Psalm of prayer. Four other Psalms also identified as a Psalm of prayer are: Psalm 86, 90, 102, and 142.
Many Psalms are prayerful in content, This is a good Psalm in which we can use as a pattern, and example of prayer in our life. There are 4 easy things to spot in this Psalm.
I. Hear me (1-5)
#
A. Sincere (1)“unfeigned lips”
#
i.Feign – not real or genuine, insincere.
#
- Why would some pray without sincerity?
- Some pray to be seen of men, some pray to be heard of men, however, we must pray to communicate with God. Parable Luke 18:9-14
ii.David comes to God in humility and sincerity.
#
B. Searching (proving) (3-4)[ “HEAR the right”
#
i.Responsibility (3-4)
#
God knew that David’s prayer was sincere and that his life, though not sinless, was blameless.

Actions have Consequences
#
Romans 5:12, 18-21

The message is simple tonight, but I believe it is important for us to
grasp the great truth in this chapter.
I. Offense Caused
#
A. Judgement (18)
#
- judgement - the process of examining facts and arguments, to ascertain
propriety and justice
Heb. 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment:

Victory
#
Psalm 18:1-6
Introduction
This is a lengthy Psalm. There are only 3 Psalms longer than this one. Psalm 78, 89, 119,
This is a very victorious Psalm! Reading it, is of great help and strength to the believer. There are prophetic references to Jesus in this Psalm as well. We will not look at them simply for sake of time. Some of them are very clear. However, I want us to see the victory that David had through God! There are six things that I want us to notice in this lengthy Psalm tonight.

Victorious Christian Living
#
Romans 6:1-2
Introduction
After greatly expounding on justification, Paul now opens with a
question that may come to mind by those learning ALL their sins are
gone, wiped clean, there is no longer a debt of sin hanging over their
head. “Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.”
(Rom 6:1-2)
Just as if someone physically had foolishly racked up a great amount of
debt through a very lavish lifestyle. With no self restraint buying
everything and anything they wanted, found themselves drowning in debt,
in which they were unable to pay. Justification is having that debt
forgiven, wiped clean. That person may think, now, I’m free to spend my
money any way I want. No, the one who paid that debt, is now requiring
financial responsibility, sanctification. He cleaned up your mess, but
expects you to work at keeping things right.

Work through the Word
#
Psalm 19
Introduction
Spurgeon says:
“How foolish and wicked are those who instead of accepting the two sacred tomes, and delighting to behold the same divine hand in each, spend all their wits in endeavouring to find discrepancies and contradictions. We may rest assured that the true “Vestiges of Creation” will never contradict Genesis, nor will a correct “Cosmos” be found at variance with the narrative of Moses. He is wisest who reads both the world-book and the Word-book as two volumes of the same work, and feels concerning them, “My Father wrote them both.”

Deliverance from Sin
#
Romans 6:12-23
Introduction
As we continue through the book of Romans, we can see Paul is dealing
with “Sanctification”. Salvation occurs the moment you call on Jesus
Christ as your personal Saviour. It is instantaneous, not a process.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.

What Kind of Person are you?
#
Mark 2:1-12
Introduction
This morning I would direct our attention to the people in
this passage. Jesus always interacted with people.
We relate with some people, and often we see ourself in other people?
I. The Seekers (Mark 2:2) "many were gathered together"
#
A. Word Shared (1) "noised that he was in the house"
#
1. The history -
#
Mark 1:21 - he was in Capernaum before, that is where Peter's house
is, where he cast the demon out of the man in the synagogue, and
healed many people.
